More Fencing

We are just about finished with the fence installation for our goats. We need to string ½ of the 1 strand of barbwire and all of the 2nd strand and build the gate. All three of the boys have worked extremely hard with me. I couldn’t ask for a better crew. We have had some offers for help, but I really wanted this to be a family project. It has been a growth process for me and the boys. I truly desire to teach them how to work together and what it means to do the job right the first time. As they have found out it is much better to do it right the first time rather than do the job twice. Of course some of that blame falls right back on me for not giving clear instructions at times. Assuming they know more than they have been taught is a frustrating practice for all of us.

By the end of the day on Saturday we all felt like Zech and Buttinz.

I am beginning to truly appreciate the wisdom of God in creating a day of rest. We all need both physical and spiritual restoration by the weeks end. The Lord is truly gracious and merciful to us in every aspect of our lives.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. Psalm 103:13-18
